HAYWARD — A vintage photo features a brewery in downtown Hayward. A more recent image of the same location sits right next to the old photo. The image, taken earlier this year, shows the Five Flags area where Jackson Street intersects with Foothill and Mission boulevards.

Those images, along with other before-and-after photographs of the Hayward area, will be displayed at an upcoming exhibit at Chabot College.

“Double Take: The Historic Hayward Area Re-photographed” features reprints of originals dating to 1880and shows how the city and surrounding neighborhoods have evolved over the years.

“The exhibit lets me see how Hayward has advanced,” student Jose Ferreira said. “It’s important to know your history and where you’ve come from.”

Ferreira, a Hayward resident, is also part of a group of Chabot students curating the event.

“This show isn’t just a simple here-and-now, but a deeper look into our past and our future in this city,” he said.

Vintage photos of scenes in Hayward, Castro Valley and San Lorenzo were provided by the Hayward Area Historical Society.

Copies of the photos were then given to photographers from Phantom photography club, who were asked to search for the site depicted and capture an image of how it looks today.

Photographer Jon Bischofberger was given an old photograph of the saltworks site near Highway 92 in Hayward to rephotograph.

He was asked by curators about the process he used to find the exact location depicted in the old photo.

“Many of the markers in the original photograph were no longer there,” Bischofberger said. “The photo itself was my main guide in the process; using it to gauge proportions, how much sky to include, where to place the building and so on.”

An opening-night reception will be held to view photos by Bischofberger and other photographers from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday in the Chabot Art Gallery, Room 1002.

Admission is free, and the gallery is open from noon to 2 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays. Campus parking costs $2. The exhibit will run until Dec. 11.

Chabot College is at 25555 Hesperian Blvd. For more information, call 510-723-6700.
